The Guild is the official volunteer organization of Houston Ballet, comprising of about 350 dedicated men and women who assist in all areas of the Ballet. Membership is $60 annually, and volunteers usher at Student Matinee performances, help with backstage tours for children, plan birthday celebrations for our pre-professional company, and so much more. In addition, there are several social events including coffees and an annual trip. To learn about Houston Ballet's Guild, please click here: Houston Ballet Guild.

Our single largest volunteer effort is the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market, and you do not have to be a member of the Guild to participate. Volunteers take tickets, hand out bags and programs, and set-up for special events. In return, you receive free parking and Market entry on the day of your shift. Please go to www.shiftboard.com/nutcrackermarket to fill out the short application. You will receive an email with more your temporary password shortly. Once you have registered, you will receive an email when the volunteer schedule for the 2013 Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market opens online.

Houston Ballet is always in need for those who just want to help and be a part of this internationally acclaimed company. There are no dues and no meetings, simply complete and return this form to enroll as a volunteer for the current season! We will be in contact with you when any volunteer needs arise.
